whyyyyyyyyyyyy.... at least I start the run with a healthy stock of cresent moon heals and pine resins since the farm went on awhile. That is the silver lining to the broken sword farm, especially if you get bad RNG on the sword drop, it also pumps the resources you start with.

So I debated internally which version of the game to do this in because this run in particular is decently different between the versions. The baseline differences of the two versions is mostly QoL and other minor stuff that wont make or break anything and most stuff still plays the same. But for this run in particular you start with more pine resins in the remake since they added fire sword dreglings with near guaranteed drops of it to the start of 1-1 that you will probably kill a bunch during the broken sword farm. So the remake is easier right? No, its actually harder. Idk why but you just straight up deal less damage in certain circumstances in the remake and in this run its SUPER noticeable. You deal 39 damage to allant on PS3, on PS5 you deal 29. So ultimately the choice is easier access to pine resins early game and QoL vs higher damage for the whole run. Given that you can just use environmental kills and the dregling merchant to farm/purchase infinite pine resins early game if you really wanted to anyways, that's technically also just QoL since you can farm that stuff anyways this just saves time. So really its just QoL vs raw damage and its no contest, OG is easier for this run no question about it that damage gap just cant be ignored. So I picked the harder, but more convenient version of the run for SL1. I also didnt use remake exclusive consumables or armor just to really dull the edge the remake has.
